As tomorrow is launch day here's my last sneak peek. and I've got two cards to share with you today. This one was inspired by challenges at:
Cardvaarks - decorated inside and out
Papertake Weekly - sketch #49
Meljen's Designs - anything goes
Supplies used:
Patterned papers and flowers - SWALK CD volume 2
Stamp - special little personCopics Ciaos:
Face - E000, E21, RV10
Hair - Y21, Y31
Basket - E51, E53, E57
Blanket and ribbon - R11, R20, R32, RV000
Stickles - stardust
Yesterday I got asked how I'd made my ribbon ruffle, so I thought I share some step by steps.
First get some ribbon and a needle and thread. As I couldn't find my threads I actually used some twine!
Sew through the ribbon, don't worry about the spacing too much.
I then attached it to the patterned panels as I would normally attach ribbon, with some double sided tape on the back of the panel. Remember to stick down the thread as well as the ribbon as you don't want your ruffle to undo. I then covered the ribbon with a scalloped panel to match the panel on my gatefold.

First get some ribbon and a needle and thread. As I couldn't find my threads I actually used some twine!
Sew through the ribbon, don't worry about the spacing too much.
Make sure there's still thread at one end and push the ribbon over the thread to ruffle it up.
I then attached it to the patterned panels as I would normally attach ribbon, with some double sided tape on the back of the panel. Remember to stick down the thread as well as the ribbon as you don't want your ruffle to undo. I then covered the ribbon with a scalloped panel to match the panel on my gatefold.
I hope this makes sense and helps, if you have any other questions then just leave me a comment.
Other big news is that at Crafter's Companion have got the most fabulous card for stamping and colouring with your alcohol pens, such as Copics and Promarkers, it’s called Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, its 216gsm, is ultra ultra smooth, and PERFECT for seamless blending. Even better than that its only £3.99 per pack for 20 sheets – trust me, if you love your promarkers and copics – you need it! I'm loving it and I know the rest of our design team our too.
